Homecoming for Checo

We have talked about Sergio Perez at great length in this season’s race previews, and with good reason. The “Mexican Minister of Defense” has played a crucial role in Max Verstappen’s march to a second straight F1 Drivers title and Red Bull’s successful bid to claim this season’s F1 Constructors crown.

A two-time race winner over his nine trips to the podium this season, “Checo” remains in reach of second place in the F1 Drivers Standings, just two points back of Ferrari rival Charles Leclerc. And considering Checo’s consistent driving this season, which has produced top six finishes in all but one of the races he has completed this season, capped by a fourth-place performance in a damaged car last week, a 1-2 finish by the Red Bull duo is a good bet.

The first Mexican driver to lead the Mexican Grand Prix, Checo turned in a career-best third-place finish at this event last season, and with Red Bull now facing no pressure after clinching the Constructors title last week, Perez is likely to be unleashed by the team this weekend in a bid to give the hometown fans something to cheer about. While overtaking a red-hot Verstappen will be a challenge, f1 betting fans should be getting on Red Bull as a solid +120 bet to produce a double finish in Mexico City for the second time in as many years.

Mexican Grand Prix Recent Winners

Year Driver Margin of Victory
2019 Max Verstappen – Red Bull Racing 1.766 sec
2020 Cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic
2019 Lewis Hamilton – Mercedes 1.766 sec
2018 Max Verstappen – Red Bull Racing 17.316 sec
2017 Max Verstappen – Red Bull Racing 19.678 sec
2016 Lewis Hamilton – Mercedes 8.354 sec
2015 Nico Rosberg – Mercedes 1.954 sec

Sainz Snake Bitten

It is a different story for Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr. as the scene shifts to Mexico City. A threat to challenge for second place in the Standings after powering to an impressive third-place finish on a wet track in Singapore, Sainz has been forced to retire early from each of the past two events due to collisions that have limited him to fewer than four completed laps over that stretch.

Overall, Sainz has been forced to retire from six of this season’s 19 races to date, leaving sports bettors wondering whether there is more value in the +120 odds of the talented Spaniard earning his ninth podium of the season, or the +330 odds of him failing to classify on Sunday. Considering Sainz steady run of bad luck, and far from stellar past results in Mexico City, where an average of more than three drivers have failed to classify over the past four editions of this race, a value bet on Sainz to not classify is worth considering.

The Picks: Red Bull double podium (+120); Carlos Sainz Jr. not classified (+330)
